One of the items discussed was a resolution by the City Council that would let Occupy Wall Street camp-out in front of City Hall indefinitely.

For obvious reasons, business owners aren't happy with the resolution. This is what the Chamber of Commerce has to say about it, an excerpt from the Council's resolution included:

Dear Mayor Jean Quan,

On behalf of the Oakland Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and our many members we believe the proposed resolution stated herein should not be adopted. We respectfully submit the background and our opinion as follows: The City of Oakland has allowed members of Occupy Oakland to put up tents, other structures and cooking facilities and porta-potties in Frank H. Ogawa Plaza immediately adjacent to Oakland's historic City Hall. The City Council is now considering a Resolution that would in effect approve this Encampment on a permanent or semi-permanent basis. The specific language of the Resolution is:

FURTHER RESOLVED

That the Oakland City Council urges the City Administration, whenever reasonably possible to address any public health issues, fire safety issues, noise disturbances of neighbors or violence in the camp, with verbal communication among the protestors and city or county officials; and be it

FURTHER RESOLVED

That the Oakland City Council declares that it does not support the use of force to remove the encampment unless absolutely necessary, after, engaging in verbal communications, whenever reasonably possible; and urges Mayor Jean Quan, and the City Administration to exercise their administrative powers, if possible, in a manner that will not involve the use of force to remove the encampment.
